There Goes My Heart
Brook Benton · Other Songs - Brook Benton
There goes the girl I wasn't worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else in place of me
Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow
I had my chance but it's all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I
